You're so fast, I'll test with CM12.1. Thanks!

Edit : If I already have TWRP 2.8.x it's no require to flash FOTA formater right?

The cleaner is unneeded, flashing is enough.

What I could advise would be to make a final backup
with the one version of TWRP, move it to a computer,
then update to have a way back.

I have restored an old backup with the 3.0.0 version,
so completely doable.

I have CM13.0 and I had TWRP 2.8.7.0 and I did this :

Flash FOTA cleaner
Reboot to recovery ( CM recovery )
then apply update , TWRP3
reboot

I tried "reboot to recovery" in CM recovery but still it was CM recovery ! I rebooted and tried to boot into recovery using volume keys but still the same !
so I booted into ROM and tried again and it worked !

Thanks Adrian ! <3
I think my English is Really sucks ! am I right ?

Flashed, compatible with 12.1. Haven't used the cleaner

great work man !! that was fast with the first try it was very messy i thought it was gonna have some problems and will take some time ....tested on cm12.1 it's working and the options are great too with the new 3.0 twrp :good:
and the best thing that is the reboot now fixed and can after done flashing press reboot with no problems unlike the previous one
all i can say is thanks for ur hard work on this device !...

 

[TheWolfer22]

I don't know if is a general problem of TWRP 3.0.0 or not but in other devices in this version of TWRP aroma archives don't work.
Someone confirm this.

 

[bubbeld]

so i'm with the helium kernel will this be gone when i flash this ?

 

[AdrianDC]

Helium kernel is a kernel, TWRP recovery is a recovery, they won't delete each other.
The TWRP recovery will be flashed to the FOTA partition so it can't be lost with kernel / ROM update.

No
